St Albans, Herts, United Kingdom, 05/13/2009 – A new Webinar featuring David Wilson, of Elearnity, Europe's leading Corporate Learning Analyst, will explore how investing in Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-based talent management solutions is helping organisations increase productivity and ensure high performers are engaged, developed, connected and retained – while also lowering costs. The complimentary session, sponsored by integrated learning and talent management specialist Cornerstone OnDemand, is entitled “Software-as-a-Service (SaaS): the Impact on Learning & Talent Systems” and is scheduled for Thursday, 14th May from 3pm to 4pm GMT.
According to analyst firm Gartner, the global enterprise market for SaaS will rise by nearly 22 percent in 2009, as companies turn to Web-based applications as a way to reduce costs during the economic downturn. This includes increased adoption of on-demand human capital management applications by organisations seeking economical yet effective ways for managing and developing employees.
David Wilson, Elearnity’s founder and Managing Director, commented, “SaaS is having a significant impact on the learning and talent systems market, both for enterprise customers, as well as the mid-tier market. We also see it as being particularly attractive in the current economic climate.”
Learning and human resources (HR) leaders participating in Thursday’s Webinar will:
• Discover why leading organisations are turning to SaaS to accelerate change and deliver more value for the business from their learning and talent systems;
• Explore specific HR business drivers – including cost/time savings, scalability and flexibility – that make SaaS a superior technology option;
• Learn the key questions to ask when considering potential SaaS-based learning and talent solutions.
During the session, Wilson will preview analysis and recommendations from Elearnity’s latest research. Elearnity’s research and analysis focuses on the key innovations challenging corporate learning organisations, including e-learning and blended learning, learning management strategy and systems, the impact of learning and increasing value-add, and integrating learning with human capital and performance. Elearnity’s research process is designed to develop deeper insights into corporate realities and best practice, and an independent understanding of vendor capabilities and performance.
